Graduate Profile of Haro Ogawa, MSOM, LAc, CMT, ATC

Most rewarding aspect of practice: Getting to build a successful practice. Seeing peak performance by the players because of my treatments.

I want to mention that it is really different being a therapist with the team rather than being in individual practice. Working with the SF Giants, I watch and memorize players' best performances. I watch them every day so I can see when something is wrong and I can observe them as they recover. Therefore, each treatment can be more subtle and I can do smaller interventions rather than wait until something is really wrong. But in a clinical setting, you only have one chance to get a good result because you may not get to see the patient very often.
